Low Power Consumption nRF8001

jamilaaria

Hi guys,

Do you have any suggestions on how I can lower the power consumption. I am currently connecting - sending data - disconnecting.

I have the following set the parameters as: Min/Max Interval = 15/15, Slave Latency = 0, Timeout = 3000 ms.

Thanks!

    The whole board (including the uC,nrf, and accel) consumes an average of 400-500uW for 30 cycle time, but I need to lower down this to around 200uW. I have this cycle: wakeup - connecting - sending data - disconnect - sleep and I measure a peak of 6mA (drawn by the nrf8001). 

    One other option that I am thinking is to keep the connection during the 30 cycle time rather than connect - sending - disconnect. Because I think that advertising must be consuming more power. Will you have any suggestion for this?
